ABSTRACT: A study was undertaken to record the ecto and endo parasites of pigeons and quails in and around Tirupat~A. ndhra Pradesh. Out of the 162 pigeons examined. 60 were positive for ectoparasites with a percentage incidence of 34.03. Pigeons had lice. ticks and mites. Among lice the species recorded were CdurnMa cofumbae, M?mpon gahae, Menacanthus. sb9rnineus. Gonlbcotes gaiiin8e and tipewus capons. Lipewus capcxls was the least prevalent lice with an incidence of 3 per cent and the most prevalent was Colurnbkuh columbae with 56.6 per cent. The only tick species recorded was Argas pemiws with an incidence rate of 1.6 per cent. Two species of mites were observed viz., Ornithonyssus bursa (6.6%) and Megninia columbae (8.33%). Among the total number of pigeons examined. 61.41% 2 1.59 had one or the other infection. Helminths were present in 57 per cent and protozoa were present in 28 per cent of pigeons. The endoparastic fauna af pigeons recorded was composed of three cestode species, two nematode species and three species of protozoa. The cestodes noted were R. tetragons, R. echinobofhrida and R. Cesticillus. Nematodes observed were Ascandia gall; and Heterakis gallinarum. The protozoa recorded were Eimeria species. Haemoproreus columbae and Trichomonos gallinae. Over all percentage inctdence of ectoparasites on quails was 37.89 2 3.4 per cent. The incidence of ectoparasites in farm quails was far less (1 0.47 2 7.03) than that observed in migratory quails (37.14 2 3.66%). The only type of ectoparasite recorded was lice. The four species of lice recorded were Guntocotes gallinae. Goniodes d~sstmiIisG~ onmdes gigas and Menopc~gl allnae. Examination of both farm and migratory quails did not reveal any helm~nth parasites. But they were posltrve for the oocysts of Enneria and lsospora specles with the percentage ~ncidenceo f 47 and 42 respectivety. Two drugs. one pyrethrod. dettramethrin (Butox) and the other a neem based herbal compound (Nimbitor) were studied for ttmr efficacy against ectoparasites of pigeons. Butox in the concentrations of 0.1. 0.15 and 0.2 per cent produced maximum efficacy after 24, 12 and 6 hours repsectively. Nimbitor when used in 1, 1 .S and 2.0 percent concentration exhibited maximum response after 48, 24 and 12 hours respectively.

ABSTRACT: Raw milk (40) and Dahi (10) samples were used to isolate lactococci. Two hundred isolates from raw milk and 50 isolates from dahi were obtained on M17 agar medium. Of these 167 and 46 isolates from raw milk and dahi rc!spectively proved to be streptococci. Subsequently, 65 and 6 isolates of lortococcc~l.a~c tis subsp. Lactis, 27 and 4 isolates of Lactococrus lactis subsp. rrenoris, and 4 and 4 isolates of Lactococc.us lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacet,vlactis were identified respectively from raw milk and dahi. The range of titrable acidity exhibited by the lactococcal isolates was 0.52% - 0.89% 1.a over 16 h. The range of milk curdling time was 5 - >12h. There was noticeable correlation between acid producing ability and milk curdling time of the lactococcal isolates. Eleven isolates of L. lactis subsp.lactis and 6 isolates of L. lactis subsp, cremoris exhibited antagonism against at least one of the 5 lactococcal indicator strains used. However, none of the lactococcal isolates inhibited any of the 3 pathogens of Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereu.s and Staphylococcus aureus. L. lactis subsp. lactis CI0 was most sensitive lactococcal indicator while Id. lactis subsp. lactis hiovar diacet.ylactis L)RC3 was the least sensitive.
